As with science, I try to connect each unit of study with other subject areas such as reading, writing, and math. Throughout a unit, students will usually have a set of vocabulary word cards that will be practiced on an ongoing basis. At the end of each unit, there will be a test. Students will bring home the vocabulary cards and typically a review sheet with the key concepts your child needs to know for the test.
